I actually prefer this over the other currently available options (Install our app on your phone so you can click "Accept" ... and give us access to scrape everything off of your smartphone!). I just select random questions from their list, and use the same answer for each of the questions. If they don't accept the same answer for each question, then I conclude I don't need whatever it is they're offering as badly as they think I need it, and move on to another entity or form of communication (if you won't make this convenient for me, then fine -- you can send me snail mail correspondence).

- staplers 3y agoApp stores also reject apps that insist on permissions that are out of their scope. Only for smaller apps. There are major apps that have unique integrations with app stores and consumer devices. Phone security/privacy is largely PR in this regard.
